‘The Apprentice’ book excerpt: At CIA’s ‘Russia House,’ growing alarm about 2016 election interference


More witnesses about accusations against Kavanaugh and rape culture at Holten-Arms & Georgetown Prep are coming out. A full FBI investigation needs to begin so that criminal liability attaches to each witness. (For protection, I blocked out the poster on this since deleted post.)


Analysis: Republicans have no good options on Brett Kavanaugh


Two sources told me the White House has heard rumors that Ford’s account will be verified by women who say she told it to them contemporaneously.

This is the letter, posted on Facebook, from a woman who knew Kavanaugh, Judge and Blasey Ford and claims that the attack did happen, that "many of us heard about it in school," and that it was talked about for days afterward. The FBI should interview her and others.


The Department of Justice and the FBI will reportedly defy Trump's demand that secret documents from the Russia investigation be declassified and will redact the material


In Paul Ryan’s 3 years as Speaker, the annual deficit has skyrocketed from $430 billion to nearly $1 trillion as he heads for the exit door having passed the largest tax cut in history for billionaires. Sleazy attack ads are one last, obscene goodbye.


It's growing increasingly clear that if Christine Blasey Ford doesn't testify, Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed with Republicans falling in line -- barring any new developments over the next week


“We here at @FoxNews love America so much that we believe convicted felons and their foreign govt employers should have free reign propagandizing, manipulating discourse, and interfering in our sovereignty so long as they aren’t America-hating liberals.”


Brett Kavanaugh should withdraw his nomination for the good of the Supreme Court and the country


Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao flew on FAA planes rather than commercial flights on seven occasions between January and August 2017. Taxpayers foot the bill – an estimated $93,977.84.


So correct Senator. And the GOP should pay with the loss of all thinking women if they jam another predator on to the High Court. Kavanaugh like Thomas is lying all way. The FBI must investigate. Stop this shameless GOP pursuit of power. November 6th thinking women must speak!


By reopening the investigation of Vince Foster's suicide Kavanuagh "tormented the Foster family in the most vicious, cruel, abuse of power I think I've ever seen in 30 years," says @PaulBegala: "If he would do something that horrible, I don't know what he was like in high school"

Opinion: Republicans are fearful of a full airing of an attempted rape allegation


Hey @ChuckGrassley — THIS is why you need an investigation. You published a list of 65 women attesting to Kav’s character, yet now 63 of them say that YOU attained those under false pretenses. I smell a rat. WE, THE PEOPLE demand an investigation
